Washington, D.C. (April 14, 2023) — Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey issued the following statement on the Small Business Administration final rule on its 7(a) program.
“ICBA strongly opposes today’s Small Business Administration final rule lifting the moratorium on the number of non-federally regulated institutions, including nonbank fintech companies, that can make loans under its 7(a) program.
“As ICBA told policymakers in a recent comment letter to the SBA and joint letters to the agency and Congress, this rule would undermine the 7(a) program and unintentionally harm the very borrowers the SBA is trying to aid. And as members of Congress have told the SBA, the rule establishes broad and sweeping changes that do not reflect congressional input or authorization.
“Instead of opening the 7(a) program to unregulated entities, the SBA should focus on maximizing the community bank partnerships that have expanded lending in underserved areas. ICBA will continue working to address this troubling final rule to ensure the SBA 7(a) program continues to support small businesses in local communities while preserving safeguards against fraud and abuse.”
